Been using these guys a few years now. Very friendly, accommodating and honest company who make every quick, easy and convenient. Wouldn’t go anywhere else. John GillGreat customer service. Will definitely recommend and use again. Thanks 👍 David O10/10 - best garage in Brighton and Hove. I hadn’t heard of HiQ until my car broke down late on a Sunday night and the RAC driver recommended it. I’d recently had a bad experience at my usual garage, so I sceptically agreed to be towed here. Glad I did, because HiQ will be my go-to in future. By 10am Monday morning, they’d totally gone over the car, diagnosed the problem, and noted a few other bits to monitor / repair if I wanted. Unfortunately, but as suspected, my gearbox was the issue and needed replacing, so was a big repair and not something I’d budgeted for after only buying the car a couple of months ago (lesson learned!). The lady in the office (whose name I didn’t get - sorry!!) and manager Steve were both SO helpful and understanding. I wasn’t sure if it was even worth repairing the car but they talked me through my options, without pressuring me into making any decisions - which is always a worry going to any new garage, especially alone as a young woman. After deliberating for a few days, I decided to go ahead and get a refurbished gearbox with warranty. The courier got delayed, meaning I’d be without a car over the weekend (really my fault for taking so long to decide) but HiQ sorted me out with a nice courtesy car. It’s a busy garage - obviously a testament to their reputation - but the new gearbox was delivered on Monday afternoon, and my car was ready the next morning. The work was very reasonably priced, and they went above and beyond - which was extra nice because must I have been a difficult customer (sorry again). Car has been going well now for the couple of weeks and few hundred miles since I’ve had it back. Thank you Steve and HiQ team 🙏 EllieVery helpful / prompt response and good service also very helpful advice saving me some money John AustinSo further to the tyres I had replaced earlier this year decided to my mot and service done here. Again my trust for the guys here have grown. Straight up honest about the car and filled me with confidence that you getting a great service. New mando
